HOUSEHOLD.

To BAKE CAKE.-Most cake re-
qulres a moderately hot ven to make
it rise up well. Fruit cake, however,
should be put into a slow oven, as it
needs longer baking and Is apt to burn.
For all cake the heat should be well
kept up. If allowed to decrease the
loaves will be doughy inside, or at least
heavy: Sponge cake. in particular,
needs a steady heat. Jelly cake, and
all layer cakes, need a hot oven, and
are easier for a novice to bake than
any other kind. They bake quickly.
Watch carefully to see that that they
do not burn around the edges. Except
with layer cakes. do not open the oven
door till the end Of ten minutes. 1t
might chill the cake while rising,
which is the most critical time. When
opening the oven, take car that no
cold draught of air from an open VIM
dow or door strikes in. Do not slam
the oven door when it is to be shut, or
jar the pans by moving them unneces-
sarily.

MANY carefully conducted expert
ments have proved beyond a doubt
that young animals pay much better
for feeding than do those which have
long passed their wears Of growth, If
this fact were more generally realized
there would be fewer old animals kept
and farmers would change their stock
much oftener than has been their prac-
tice. Many buyershave already learned
better than to ever purchase an old cow
or pair of oxen, because they know
that 10 gain in growth a be obtained,
only a gain in constitution, and this
at a cost fully equal 10 all it will bring
when the animal is again offered for
sale.

FARM

FEEDING FOR GROWTH OR FAT
Simply feeding an animal without
some definite object In view Is to VASE
the food or else deprive the animal OF
something it may require unless the
farmer knows the quality of the food
gwen and the nutrltive value Of the
ingredients of which It is composed.
so important is a knowledge ofthe pro-
per mode of feeding that 1t Is often
possible to produce a more perfect a
imal from a grade than from a tho
roughbred, and Darwin expresses the
opinion that the quality of the food in
nuence variations in animals, and that
when Improvement is attempted by
judicious breeding the result Is largely
influenced by the mode and periods Of
feeding, as also by the quality and
kinds of food used.
A normal condition cannot BE sus-
tained in an animal except by a mixed
diet No single article of food used
for domestic animals can be regarded
as complete or containing the proper
proportions of the necessary elements
of growth and warmth. Certain foods,
rich In nitrogen, are required for pro-
ducing flesh. These foods are known
as ''flesh-formers," and are derived
from the gluten of grains, the legumen
of clover and from the different forms
of nitrogen in all the plants used as
food, being transformed in the body Of
the animal INTO flesh and to supply the
natural waste of the muscles and cart
ilages. the surplus being impaired to
the products of the animal, as casein
in milk or albumen in eggs from birds.

mainly in aid of immigration and

Office which had been created for their
benefit mainly. This, he promised,
should not he the case with him.

immigrants, and would welcome all
good people who come inc our state
to invest their money and identify
themselves with US. yet he did not
propose to waste his time and the peo'

ing prayer,
"Look upon us, 0 God, our heaven
ly Father, in our helplessness before
this great tyranny. Look upon us as
they slaughter our children and our
fathers, and look with pity upon the
mothers and the fathers of the dead
brave whom they kill. Bring from
out of the schools and colleges, the
factories and the farms, those who
are gifted to fight and may all enter
into this work with all their heart,
brain, brow, and life. Let not the sun
of this generation go down in dark
ness. May the terrific rum traffic be
crushed out. Let the powers of moral
suasion, of preaching, of law, and of
social influence be combined to beat
down this Satin. Grant that this
whole nation may be stirred increas.
ingly over this the greatest question
that has stirred it since the continent
was discovered. Break, we pray Thee
the power of every preacher, every
poet, ever reporter, every writer, who
is engaged in giving countenance to
the desolating curse OF the centuries.
And give strength to every feeble child
and to every humble soldier fighting
for prohibition. And may the strong
est among us be like David, and the
Davids in this canse be powerful as
angels OF heaven"
